 If, then, thou seekest miracles,Death, error, all calamities,The leprosy and demons flee,The sick, by him made whole, arise.The sea withdraws and fetters break,And withered limbs he doth restore,While treasures lost are found again,When young or old his help implore.All dangers vanish from our path,Our direst needs do quickly flee:Let those who know repeat the theme:Let Paduans praise St. Anthony. Sequence attributed to Julian of Speyer, composed c. 1235 (The Raccolta, 531. New York: Benziger Brothers. 1952.)
